America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 180 Champion
The film received extremely good reviews at its premiere, and word-of-mouth marketing was put on the agenda by the crew and Warner Bros. that night.

The next morning, from print media to Internet websites, there was a chorus of applause for "The Mountain Has Eyes".

"After Scream, The Hills Have Eyes is Wes Craven's best horror film!"

It’s a pity that it’s not a series of movies, otherwise I would have been influenced by Martin and called it the best in the series again and again.

In this regard, we can only use Craven as an example.

Variety, Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter and the Los Angeles Times, among others, all gave positive reviews.

The Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating was opened on the second day of its premiere, and it was as high as 78%.

In the ratings compiled by the MTC website, media professionals gave an average score of 68 points.

This is a horror movie!

Although the media reputation is not explosive, it is still an above-average choice.

The positive reviews mainly focused on the combination of horror and action, as well as the performance of the male lead Martin.

"One man, one dog and one baseball bat, Martin Davis fully demonstrated the rage that a husband and father can burst out when he is in extreme pain!"

Another media wrote: "Martin Davis is crazier than a murderer in the second half of the film, but he is heartwarming. Shouldn't a real man be like him?"

There are also gossip newspapers such as "American Rumor" that humorously commented: "American movie fans and travelers are deeply tortured by various perverts and tremble all day long. This time Martin Davis stood up and gave a brilliant performance to vent everyone's anger. Normal people finally stood up in the horror and murder movie instead of being so stupid that it drives people crazy!"

Kenneth Turan from the Los Angeles Times was very positive about Martin's acting skills.

"The young Martin Davis perfectly portrayed the process of how a good man turns into an angry person. He expressed the emotions of a person who turns into anger and revenge under extreme pain and sadness vividly. After that, his revenge becomes justified. There is no discomfort in the distorted expression and bloody massacre. Instead, people can't help but cheer."

"A father rescuing his children from a devil's den, that's pretty much it, and Martin Davis did a classic."

Most of the voices in the media were applauding.

It has received constant positive reviews on movie websites such as IMDB on the Internet.

"Martin is so cool, and the dad he plays is so brave. I wish my dad was like him."

"It's proven that you shouldn't mess with a father who has courage, guts, strategy and skills."

"In order to save the child, Martin will not kill enough psychopaths!"

"This is a horror film, but Martin uses his twisted acting skills to tell everyone what family love and warmth are."

The outsourcing company that undertook the viral marketing took on a new job, which was to boost the reputation of "The Hills Have Eyes" on the Internet.

The next day, Martin visited the set of "The Tribulation of Alice" and continued to expose new gossip.

There were even gossip newspapers and websites that published articles confidently stating that Martin would propose to Anne soon, and even disclosed the plans for the proposal.

A video was released on the decryption website, which has been renamed "The Hills Have Eyes", showing the audience at the premiere cheering wildly for Martin.

It is easy to imagine that the movie must be very exciting to make movie fans so excited.

A video, said to be shot by a fan, was also posted on many websites and entertainment blogs, showing hundreds of viewers clamoring to buy repeat tickets to watch "The Hills Have Eyes."

All of these were delivered to the North American public through the extensive media channels.

Warner Bros. markets the film in this way because the film has a quality foundation, otherwise it would suffer backlash after its release.

After the premiere, Martin was not idle. As the first weekend of February arrived, he and Anne appeared at the Super Bowl hand in hand.

This scheming man would take the initiative to kiss Annie whenever the game was paused or interrupted.

They even frequently staged wet kisses, showing their affection and making their presence felt.

Before the intermission, Anne felt her lips burning and said tactfully, "Martin, you are too enthusiastic today."

Martin looked at Anne lovingly: "I want everyone to know how much I love you!"

Anne ignored her lips and went over to kiss Martin, and the two of them appeared on the TV screen again.

In addition to traditional performances, halftime also features important advertising moments. Ever since the 1997 movie "Independence Day" achieved great success with Super Bowl advertising, Super Bowl advertising has become a staple of Hollywood movies.

Martin saw ads for two movies he was associated with, The Hills Have Eyes and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

The latter could help Angelina Jolie turn things around and boost Wanted.

If you don't have enough appeal, it is inevitable to rely on others.

By the last quarter of the game, Annie's lips weren't burning, but were slightly swollen from the pain.

Martin felt sorry for Anne and didn't kiss her again in the last quarter.

The main reason is that there are too many scenes in the front, and I guess the director won’t give us any more shots.

In fact, by the third quarter of the game, the director in the studio was cursing: "This shameless couple, are they here to watch the game? Or are they here to take advantage of our camera? Don't give them any camera time! Don't give them any!"

This is the consensus of everyone in the studio. That is too shameless for Hollywood stars!

There was a close-up shot, and they could see clearly that the woman's mouth was swollen from kissing, but she still moved closer.

What's so good about Martin Davis? Anne Hathaway has lost her dignity.

After the Super Bowl, Martin sent Anne back to Los Angeles and followed the crew to promote the show non-stop, mainly going to New York and Chicago, participating in local radio, television and roadshow programs.

In addition, Warner Bros. announced that "The Hills Have Eyes" will compete for this year's Saturn Awards and Teen Choice Awards.

The latter was founded in 1999 and its influence among young people is gradually increasing. The Hills Have Eyes will be nominated for the Best Horror Movie.

When Martin returned to Los Angeles, there was only one day left until the film's full release.

Alexander Aja specifically asked him and Craven to go to a nightclub to relax.

The three men shook off the paparazzi, entered the strip club they often visited through the back door, selected suitable dancers, and went to the VIP room on the second floor.

Because the tip was generous, the three dancers went to do the cleaning.

When the car lights illuminated the faces of the three men, Martin and the others were exceptionally clear-headed and their thinking was particularly active.

Ajia stuffed the tip in, washed his face with the car light, and said, "Finally I can relax a little."

Martin gave him a middle finger and said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, I can go back to France and shoot woodpeckers."

Ajia asked, "Will you be the leading actor for me?"

Craven said: "Martin is very experienced. In Zombie Dancing Man, he performed a flying dance with the Queen of the Sacred Valley."

"Yes, I have seen it." Ajia was curious: "You guys..."

Martin interrupted directly: "Come on, I am an actor with professionalism and good character. Acting is acting."

"Now that he has Annie, he doesn't care about those anymore." Ajia stuffed another tip in, and the car lights washed his face clean. He said, "We have competitors, also horror and thriller."

Martin had already seen the film schedule: "You mean 'The Entity' released by Screen Gems? Don't be afraid, man, we have Craven in charge!"

Craven continued, "The key is this weekend, and next weekend is Valentine's Day."

Martin stuffed a tip into the bag and said before his face was washed, "Will Smith's "Rivals" will be released by then."

Ajia asked, "The genres are very different, so the audiences are different, right?"

Martin wanted to speak, but before he could finish his words, the washing machine pressed down on him, turning them into gurgling sounds.

After washing his face, he added: "Will Smith now has a lot of appeal to both men and women, young and old."

Craven's mouth was blocked by the car lights and he couldn't speak.

After washing his face, Ajia said, "The first week box office is very important."

Craven spat out the headlights: "North America accounts for more than one-third of the box office."

Martin said: "Warner Bros.' ability in distribution is unmatched by Screen Gems."

The movie will be released nationwide tomorrow, and the three of them left before ten o'clock. This time, not only Martin, but also Ajia and Craven did not take anyone away.

Bruce drove the car and waited at the back door. Martin got in the car and they went back to North Hollywood together.

Martin said, "I asked you to go up but you didn't go."

Bruce said very professionally: "I have to protect your retreat." He then asked: "There are rumors in the media that you are going to propose to Annie. Annie didn't ask you?"

"A person of my quality will definitely be serious if he proposes." Martin said it as if it were real: "Don't you think Antonio lives a very cool life?"

Bruce got to the point: "If you want to be a scumbag, just say so. There's no need to drag the fat landlord into it."

Martin thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for a while."

Bruce asked, "She confessed to you on her own initiative. What if she forces you to express your feelings? Are you going to be a scumbag?"

"No, I'm definitely not a scumbag." Martin said flatly: "I won't take the initiative, I won't make promises... So, I can't take the initiative to break up."

Bruce thought that even Satan wouldn't take the jerk in the passenger seat, even if he was thrown into hell. "What do you want to do?"

Martin considered it carefully: "Old Bull, as a good man, it is reasonable for you to test your love for the woman."

Bruce said, "Don't call me if you want to do something bad."

Martin sighed: "Jin and Jin's sister..."

Bruce chose to compromise.

The so-called test will definitely have to wait, after all, the film is about to be officially released.

At 3280 p.m. on Thursday, advance screenings of "The Hills Have Eyes" were held in theaters in North America.

In Martin's blog and fan group, die-hard fans, led by Rachel, called on those who supported Martin to go and read it sometimes, and many responded.

As fans, they will buy tickets to support the band even if they have no food to eat and have to sleep on the streets.

Influenced by the publicity and marketing, passersby also chose this film.

Of the two films that opened in theaters this week, most people chose "The Hills Have Eyes" first.

The advance box office reached 425 million US dollars!
Nearly double the $228 million of "The Entity."

The following Friday, "The Hills Have Eyes" unsurprisingly won the opening day box office championship, with a box office of 1051 million US dollars.

Three days into its first weekend, the film topped the North American box office chart with $3415 million!

The second place has less than 2000 million US dollars.
